‘People live here. Even after the bulldozers and bullets, people live here. Look at us. We are going to transform this city. Join our campaign’. Prince Peter, former resident of Njemanze waterfront (now demolished)

Celebrate Our People

In August, 2009, the homes of at least 17,000 people in Port Harcourt, Nigeria were reduced to rubble by a government claiming to transform the area into a ‘garden city.’ Two years later, the site remains derelict. People across the city are coming together to transform their home into a ‘human city’ and are inviting the government to join them.

Transform Our City

The people of Port Harcourt waterfronts want to end illegal demolition and create a livable city. Through careful planning and partnerships our city can evolve and be shaped by the people that matter most,those that live there.
